    So who's going to win? It would be good to see Spurs do it but can't see anything but a comfortable win for Chelsea.

    Spurs early favourites, from incl me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,784 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    i really think spurs will win this keane and berbatov will run riot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,188 ✭✭✭growler


    spurs to score first, bottle it and lose dramatically in the final 10 minutes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    Chelsea win with Keane to miss a pen would be nice.

    Chelsea 11/10 to win in 90 mins, looks a good bet to me.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Can imagine spurs being the better and more entertaining team on the day but Chelsea getting the result maybe after extra-time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Smegball


    Chelsea to win 1-0.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    I can see Spurs taking a lead, then losing it.
    But I hold out hope that Spurs can win this :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Chelsea. Nothing else.

    I hear they're sold out of Sat Navs in the Tottenham branch of Currys. Nobody knows the way to Wembley.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    will this be the first game with the Drogba/Anelka partnership?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,097 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Spurs to go 1-0 up but lose 3-1 in the end.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    2-1 to Spurs. I feel it in my waters.

    Hope Chelsea spank them though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,983 ✭✭✭leninbenjamin


    a lot of upset noises coming out of Chelsea of late. i wouldn't be surprised if it might distract from the game on sunday and Spurs might sneak it. probably being a bit optimisitc though, but Ramos is as good as any in the cups.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    I really think Spurs will be up for this one big time whereas Chelsea know they have bigger fish to fry, it could tell on them esp if they get off to a poor start or go a man down.

    Mike.

    OOOHH.....

    What's the gossip??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9


    Chelsea to take this one, thank you very much

    the whole Frank and Terry sh*t? how they are no longer untouchable? Lampard's made a few interviews recently and it sounds like he's stirring up sh8t in the squad just to make life difficult for Grant and maybe secure his lucrative exit from the club. he's made a lot of thinly veiled criticism of Grant recently, that as far as i can tell hasn't been picked up on much.

    Personally I'm taking the Metropolitan Line from Liverpool Street to Wembley Park then walking down Wembley Way to the ground.

    You might remember that, may be of use to you sometime...next season at the earliest, right?

    its going to be an entertaining game, thats for sure.
    we all know tottenham can find the net, but on the other hand, grant has to choose between terry/alex/caravalho.
    chelsea should be well capable of finding the net too, nick and drogs are real goal scorers.
    im going to predict a lively game, with a lot of near misses,
    3-2 to the chelsea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    3-2 to Spurs after extra time. Chelsea should be tougher than those 'Arsenal' fellows anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler


    Really hope Spurs do the biz and I think they will.

    All that stands in the way is another heroic JT performance :rolleyes:

    [scottish accent]Oh it's gona be a great day![/scottish accent]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    It certainly has been picked up on but nobody cares really. As for the result, i hope spurs take it, they are a decent side with their only real problem of late being their lack of quality in defence, now that they have that I thknk they will push on, not only in this game but in the cup.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭fish fingers


    jebus, wtf is jamie doing there? Look at the length of his tie?
    Your stevie g's and your frank lampards.(hint)I fookin hate him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I'm gonna predict 5-3 to Chelsea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭besty


    I'd like to see Spurs win it. Might derail Chelsea's title bid...Probably just wishful thinking.

    I hope spurs win now that Lampard and Terry waltz back into the starting lineup despite having done f.a. to get that far. Alex has had a blinder of a season but Terry (without match fitness) steals his position in probably the only final * Chelsea are going to get to this year


    *hopefully
